Chapter Ninety-Six: The May 15 "Tragedy".

On the banks of the Huangpu River, the low-rise houses seem to be collapsing at any time, and now it is more than five o'clock in the morning, and even the windows are sealed from the inside of the house, which is not small, and there are dozens of sleepless people standing in unison.

"Although we expected this demonstration, we did not expect it to be so rushed. Of course, the collusion between myself and the British is also unexpected by us. ”

As the captain of the operation unit that went to Shanghai to carry out this special mission, He An also received top-secret information two hours ago that he would collude with the British to suppress the college students' demonstration.

The information that Shanghai university students will be holding demonstrations on these two days was detected by agents of the Secret Service during the day. And college students made a mistake at this time. They thought they would be better at organizing their march, but in reality, they got the information later that day.

It is said that Ben's espionage activities in China have become pervasive, especially in a large coastal city like Shanghai. The students' actions that they thought were secretive could not escape their eyes and ears.

When it was learned that the students would organize demonstrations on a scale far larger than before, the agents of the Special Intelligence Department urgently reported and analyzed on their own, believing that they would not sit idly by and watch the students march. Judging from past experience, it is possible that he may collude with the police station to block the students inside the school gate.

This time, however, the agents were left in disbelief by the intelligence that came in a little later.

A concession spy developed by the Special Intelligence Department urgently reported to his upline, and an agent of the Special Intelligence Department said that later in the evening, a person said that he had visited the British Concession patrol room Ai Fusheng, and then the British Concession patrol room recalled the vacation patrol overnight and replenished some ammunition.

At that time, it was already 1 o'clock in the morning, and the Shanghai Special Intelligence Department, which had received this information, immediately smelled the smell of a shocking conspiracy, saying that he was going to do it, and it was probably going to borrow the hands of the British.

Although Britain, France, and other countries have always tried to play the role of a transcendent civilizer in the concessions in Shanghai in recent years, the staff of the Special Intelligence Department know that this is just an illusion. Not to mention anything else, judging from the education and knowledge they have received, the essence of imperialism is hegemonism, and compared with the weak China, that is aggression, and the form of the concession is even more naked aggression, as long as they do not withdraw from China for a day, then their inferior roots in China will be vividly expressed.

Therefore, the three provinces are absolutely wary and hostile to imperialism from top to bottom. The order issued by the headquarters of the Special Intelligence Department a year ago on the deep lurking in the concession and other key departments finally played a role, allowing the Special Intelligence Department to obtain this top-secret information at the most critical juncture.

However, there was so little time left for the Secret Service agents and operations teams that they didn't even have time to stop the students from leaving the school, let alone stopping them from leaving the school.

Because from another piece of campus information, in order to prevent the school gate from being blocked by the police again, the college students went home one day early, or left the school, and went directly to the vicinity of the British Concession to gather the next day.

"Just now, Chairman Zhang of the Joint Governance Axe has personally approved this action." He An took out a copy of the order he had just received, and the people present immediately stood up and saluted, waiting for him to read out the order: "I hereby order the action troops, at all means, to counterattack, resolutely open fire, and protect the retreat of the marching students." ”

"Yes!! Resolutely obey Chairman Zhang's orders. The members of the action unit roared in unison, and one by one, like a tiger that had just come out, even their eyes turned red.

He An nodded, handed the order document to the team members next to him, motioned for everyone to read it, and then ordered: "Combined with the terrain of the British Concession and analyzing the intelligence, we believe that the procession will have a major pause in front of the patrol house in the British Concession. In such an event, once the procession stops at an important location, the conflict will also reach its peak. Therefore, in addition to the agents of the Intelligence Department following the parade and monitoring the movements of the Hongkou army and reporting the situation at any time, our main ambush location this time will be near the Concession Patrol House. I now announce a specific plan of action......"

May 15 at 5:30 a.m. Shanghai time, San Francisco time at 1:40 p.m.

"Mr. Lee, Mr. Kenneth, this is an urgent transoceanic telegram order that has just been received. You must carry out the order immediately. ”

A special staff member pulled the two men out of their napping bed with a tense face, but they did not complain because he was the emergency liaison in San Francisco arranged by the United Governance. When he woke up the two of them, it meant that something big had happened in the country.

"Hmm...... What the!!! Li Chunyang picked up the telegram and glanced at it, and immediately jumped up in fright, and then Kenneth also jumped up, the two just said a few words, and immediately rushed to the telegraph room, the matter was urgent, and the order could only be executed immediately.

At six o'clock in the morning, it was already dawn.

The military camp in Hongkou, Shanghai, suddenly opened widely, and large troop trucks drove out of it, and all the soldiers on it drove out of the barracks with murderous spirits and headed for the Bund.

In a room on the third floor in the distance, the open curtain closed again, and then the sound of a telephone rang in the room. "The wild dogs have come out of their burrows to feed. Wild dogs came out of their holes to feed. ”

At half-past six, Shanghai Tang is once again busy, but the streets are different today. First, many people dressed as students shuttled through the crowd, all heading in the direction of the Bund, and then some people who got the news also began to go to the Bund spontaneously.

At seven o'clock, I don't know where the specific news came out: Shanghai university students will go to the concession to jointly petition, and many citizens who got the news of the march about to arrive in the concession immediately decided to go to show solidarity with the students, of course, more to prepare to see the excitement, this Chinese can never change their original surname.

"Boycott the goods!!"

"Hand over the murderer!!"

"Improve mill wages and compensate workers for losses!!"

At about eight o'clock, the entire British Concession was already blocked by a procession of more than 3,000 people composed of nearly 2,000 students and more than 1,000 citizens from all walks of life.

The students held banners aloft and shouted slogans and slogans neatly under the command of the representatives of each school. The students on the march were excited, and many of them unbuttoned their clothes, blushing and shouting loudly.

At the front of the parade were the organizers of the parade, representatives of major universities, holding hands, leading the parade forward with a spirit of not fearing death.

"National self-improvement, resist the goods!!"

The slogans that overshadowed one after the other not only swelled the enthusiasm of the procession to the highest, but also the onlookers on the sidelines joined in. Some are bankrupt workshop owners, some are bankrupt small traders, some are craftsmen, some are rickshaw drivers, some are workers, some are intellectuals, and some are even housewives...... More and more people have joined the ranks of demonstrations, and the 228 tragedy some time ago and the subsequent incidents of the Northeast Incident, the Concession Incident, and the Southwest Incident, as well as the repeated reports on the massacre of the Chinese people in the past, have made many people of insight in China realize the aggressive nature of the people, and the anti-Japanese sentiment in the country has risen to an unprecedented height.

It was only around nine o'clock, and the procession had reached nearly 10,000 people, which was a real empty alley for Shanghai during this period.

In response to the growing scale of the demonstrations, the leaders of the event decided to enter the concession immediately.

"Mr. Aifusheng, the procession of the people of China is about to reach here, and I hope you will keep your promise. The Empire will have a great heart to offer. After getting the progress of the procession, Hosoda confirmed it again to Aifusheng.

In front of the British patrol room, Ai Fusheng was dressed in a police uniform. While urging the patrols of the patrol house to set up barricades, he ordered the patrols to check the guns and ammunition.

"Don't worry, Mr. Hosoda. I admired my father because he could shoot at the barbaric and backward Chinese. I've been in China for so many years, it's hard to get this opportunity, and I think we'll have a good time working together. The pot-bellied Ai Fusheng, holding a pipe, said wistfully.

"Mr. Voson's father has been to China?"

"I've been here a few times to be exact, and let me think about it, damn it, the last time was more than twenty years ago." Ai Fusheng admired his father very much, because he always told Ai Fusheng that he had led a team to conquer a backward ancient people, and he couldn't help but secretly decide, "I will also make my children and grandchildren proud of me." ”

"Yo Xi, Mr. Aifusheng's whole family are brave soldiers." Hosoda Kucho smiled and complimented.

"Boycott the goods and hand over the murderer!"

…… When the slogan finally came, Nanjing Road was empty, and there were only two people at the entire wide street, one end was the barricade set up by the Concession Patrol House, and the entire Patrol House was more than 200 British and Indian patrols. At one end was the gradual arrival of the procession.

Although the streets were wide, they were narrow in the face of the size of the processions, and from time to time, the entire barricade of the patrol house was blocked by the students and citizens who were marching.

"Boycott ......"

"I said I got out of Shanghai......"

"Punish the murderers and compensate the workers ......"

…… Under the organization of the student representatives, wave after wave of slogans seemed to be able to turn the old Bund over, and the timid British and Indian patrolmen even trembled with nervousness.

However, instead of killing people and setting fires, the civilized students did not take advantage of the chaos to smash and loot, or even abide by the order, but only carried out real demonstrations and petitions.

Ten minutes later, there was a bit of confusion in the procession.

The marchers at the front tried to climb over the barricade, but were directly pulled down by the opposite patrol and arrested on the spot.

Instead of listening to any of the students' opinions, let alone accepting petitions, the British authorities brutally arrested the students, which immediately aroused public indignation.

"Abolish the concession, return our governing power, and imperialism get out of Shanghai ......"

"Abolish the concession, return our governing power, and imperialism get out of Shanghai ......"

"Abolish the concession, return our governing power, and imperialism get out of Shanghai ......"

"Abolish the concession, return our governing power, and imperialism get out of Shanghai ......"

…… For a time, the entire Nanjing Road was full of shouting such slogans.

Students originally thought that countries such as Britain and France were enlightened countries, and many students themselves had a good impression of these countries. They thought that these countries would listen to their petitions and then mobilize the forces of civilization to come out and administer justice for the students.

However, the reality is extremely cruel.

It is only at this moment that the idealistic students finally partially recognize the ugly face of imperialism. They turned out to be raccoon dogs.

"Brother Minzhi, what should I do, the British not only didn't listen to our petition, but also arrested people...... "The hasty student representatives are already in chaos, and the students and citizens have begun to lose control, trying to storm the barricades, preparing to rescue those students who have been arrested.

"Let's retreat quickly, things are very bad!!"

However, although Tan Minzhi held the iron shouting microphone, his voice still could not cover the shouts of the angry students.

The scene is completely out of control!!

"Mr. Aifusheng, you see that these mob have gotten out of control, don't you ......" Hisashi Hosoda took out the last cash draft he had prepared from his briefcase, handed it over, and they all saw the scene downstairs.

Ivoton took the cash draft with his pipe in his mouth, and immediately called a patrolman, "Immediately shoot and arrest the student representatives." ”

"Bang!"

When the first gunshot rang out, the procession was instantly silent. Why are there gunshots? However, two seconds later, when the students in front of the march saw the muzzles of the guns raised by the patrolmen, they finally understood.

"The British dogs have shot, everyone run!!"

"Ahh

"Bang, bang, bang......"

When the gunshots rang out, almost everyone felt despair.

Why!!!

Why can imperialism wantonly shoot and massacre our people on the land of China?

Why can imperialism be so unscrupulous?

Why are these people who claim to be civilized so bloody and so brutal?

Why? Why is it that you are in your own country, but you can't even guarantee your life!!

How can we escape this never-ending slaughter, and who will stop the slaughter of these executioners year after year...... One by one, the students fell, and the rifles of the British dogs were mercilessly shooting at the students. These young beings, even as old as their children, were still shot mercilessly.

The students are innocent, and so is the nation as a whole, but the executioner's crime has once again become a shocking scandal.

They shoot so recklessly that they don't get the punishment they deserve anyway. In their view, these stupid Chinese, past and present, have never been able to pose any threat to their high imperialism.

This is not Huaxia China, this is their hunting garden, where they shoot wantonly, practice marksmanship, and plunder the spoils of war.

"Da Da Da ......"

In the chaotic Nanjing Road, in the ears of all the desperate students who fled for their lives, there was a strange and very dense burst of gunfire, and the students who fled farther began to look back cautiously.

I saw that in the other direction of Nanjing Road, several cars with extremely strange shapes suddenly drove up.

These cars did not have a roof, and the open-roofed car had a very strange machine gun mounted on it. The machine gun had a long barrel, a larger caliber than an ordinary heavy machine gun, with a longer barrel, and behind it stood a man with a bulletproof helmet with a head exposed.

It was this man who was holding this machine gun on the car with the sunroof open, firing fiercely.

Almost at the same time, in the other direction, the same car, the same small model, the same open sunroof, the same strange machine gun, the same shooter in a helmet.

If there is a military expert here, he will definitely exclaim: the anti-aircraft machine gun is good, this is the operation unit that has just arrived, driving a specially modified Type A car, with a powerful anti-aircraft machine gun on the roof.

The two speeding cars, the anti-aircraft machine guns on the top of the extremely windy, after leveling, immediately the muzzles of the guns fired at the British patrol house position that was originally shooting unscrupulously, and sprayed a shuttle of life-threatening bullets.

"Da Da Da ......"

The originally arrogant patrolmen did not expect that the situation would take a sharp turn for the worse, and they were hit by anti-aircraft machine gun bullets on the spot.

Compared to the anti-aircraft machine guns, the bolt rifles in their hands were not even as good as the burning sticks.

"Da Da Da ......"

When a shuttle anti-aircraft machine gun swept in, the power of steel instantly broke through the defense of **, and many patrols even just turned around to see the strange-shaped car, and were swept in two by a large-caliber high-speed machine bullet. Intestines and organs were suddenly scattered all over the ground.

Without any sluggishness, a high-altitude bullet that was cut in half by a patrol was pierced into the body of the next Englishman again, and again easily tore him into two savage pieces, with a huge penetrating power, regardless of how many people the bullet was traveling in front of him, all of them were pierced to the end, as long as the British dogs standing on that line were all killed by the bullets. The unlucky ones in the front are often torn in half or three pieces, and the latter ones are also pierced with a bowl-sized wound until the bullet finally burrows into the ground.

The arrogant patrolmen, in order to form a concentrated shooting advantage, deliberately stood in a row and row.

As a result, when the patrols lined up and waited for the Southwest Special Forces combat vehicle to arrive, they were pierced at both ends and made a barbecue of heavy machine bullets.

"Ah............ Ah......h

Patrols who can scream are temporarily lucky, because they have only had an arm torn off or a leg broken by a heavy machine bullet, and of course, they will not be lucky forever.

More than 200 people, the patrolmen who stood in dense formations narrowly escaped the first wave of strafing, and did not even have time to raise their heads to shoot, and were again killed by the fire of the two crossed anti-aircraft machine guns.

The 12.7mm caliber heavy high-altitude bullets were very honored to send them to heaven one by one to meet their dear God.

Compared with the deaths and injuries of more than 20 students, the "civilized people" in the patrol room are being ploughed back and forth repeatedly like a plough by high-speed bullets, without any softness or scruples, just one word, kill!

"Da Da Da ......"

Keep shooting until two minutes, and there is no patrol on the spot who can stand up, and they are swept by high-altitude bullets, even if they take away a piece of meat, these people no longer have the strength to resist, but can only continue to be ravaged.

"Hooray!! Banzai!! Banzai!!! ”

In the first minute, almost all of the students present at the march had their eyes wide open and their mouths wide in disbelief. What's going on? A minute ago, weren't these arrogant "civilized people" slaughtering themselves? How did you become a pig and a dog in an instant, slaughtered by others? And a massacre with absolutely no way to fight back?

More than 200 British patrols were like pigs and dogs chained together, strafed by unscrupulous high-altitude bullets, and slaughtered unscrupulously.

Their blood had been shed everywhere, and even the feet of the students were stained by their dirty blood.

All people, except for the students who left to treat the dead and wounded, all rejoiced, once upon a time, the Chinese could only bow their heads and be slaughtered, but today, they have seen these "civilized people" slaughtered in retaliation.

The people who shouted loudly were more and more crying in an instant, and more and more people wept, and they cried, not for the slaughtered beasts, but for this moment in history.

Everyone listened and immediately dispersed and retreated. Everyone listened well and immediately dispersed and retreated!! It's an order, it's an order! ”

While everyone was crying and wailing, a modified combat vehicle drove up and made a loud horn, causing the students to immediately retreat.

That was He An's voice, he actually participated in the operation in person, and he also personally set up anti-aircraft machine guns to strafe those beasts.

At the same time, another high-altitude vehicle that had completed the massacre in front of the patrol house had turned its gun and fired at the inside of the patrol house at high speed.

"Da Da Da ......"

"Bang, click, ......bang" The door of the entire patrol room was ruthlessly destroyed by high-altitude bullets, the glass was shattered all over the ground, and the entire floor of the patrol room was full of bullet holes.

"Yaga, what's going on?"

Hosoda Hisashi and Ai Fusheng heard that something was wrong, and immediately opened the window and looked down, and the scene they saw made the two of them cold from head to toe.

I thought that the situation was absolutely under control, but in the blink of an eye, the patrols of the British Empire were mercilessly slaughtered.

"Yaga!" Hisashi Hosoda pulled out a pistol and wanted to shoot it downward. And Ai Fusheng just wanted to turn around and make a call, he knew that at this time, the British Concession garrison was needed to save the scene.

However, "civilized" people are not always blessed by God.

When a modified combat vehicle saw the situation in the window above, the high-altitude shooter did not hesitate at all, and immediately turned the muzzle of the gun, and a shuttle bullet passed, and even the window led people, hitting Aifusheng and Hosoda Hisaga squarely.

The two men were very unlucky, because of the angle, both of them were hit in the head by a shuttle bullet, like a watermelon that had been kicked to rot, and the two executioners were torn to rotten corpses without any struggle.

At the same time, the British concession authorities, who had just received the news of the change on the Nanjing Road, and the troops in Shanghai who had sailed from Hongkou, immediately marched at full speed toward the Nanjing Road, intending to arrest the murderers and stage another massacre of the students.

At the intersection of Nanjing East Road, the troops stationed in Shanghai arrived at full speed, and as soon as the entire convoy entered the street, an earth-shattering explosion occurred.

"Boom !!"

After a huge explosion, the two military vehicles driving in front were suddenly blown into the sky, and then, from beginning to end, the entire convoy was blown into the sky by a series of explosions as if it had stepped into the paradise of death.

Originally, the empty street should have attracted the attention of the Yue army, but because Nanjing Road and the entire Ying Yue were attracted to the big parade in the concession, no one was aware of the anomaly of this section of the street at all.

The truck driver at the front saw a flash of fire flying not far away, and he was sent into the sky by a violent explosion. Then, several more fires entered the convoy, and there was an earth-shattering explosion.

Later, several windows were pushed open on the upper floors of the streets on both sides, and one by one the ignited explosive packets were thrown from the upper floors onto the street.

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

An even more violent explosion sounded, and the whole street seemed to jump, and the Japanese army, which had been attacked suddenly, still wanted to resist. But first he was attacked by an unknown weapon ambushed in the street, and then bombarded by the explosives bag thrown down from the upper floor, and the more than 20 kilograms of enlarged explosives bag easily sent the truck and the little devils around the truck into the sky one by one.

Some of them even flew to the height of four or five stories.

The whole scene was full of corpses, and a whole squadron of devils, 300 people smaller, were sent to the sky by this strange street battle before they understood what was going on.

They even saw the enemy's face, and they were sent to the sky by the earth-shattering explosion, and many devils were blown to pieces, and they died in a terrible state.

Another intersection of Nanjing Road.

"Lieutenant Colonel Cruise, the concession authorities have ordered that the murderer be apprehended by all means."

The Ying [***] team supporting the Nanjing Road Patrol House was led by a lieutenant colonel, and after receiving the order from the communications staff officer, he saw a secret order: "Authorize the shooting of the rioting students." ”

"Hmph, those patrols really disgraced the face of our British Empire, and it's better to die." Cruise took out a lighter and disdainfully lit the order.

Since he didn't need an order, he had decided to let the Chinese monkeys see the ferocity of the British Empire again, not only to the rioting students, but also to the mysterious perpetrators.

However, as soon as he turned the corner, he realized that he was wrong.

At this corner of Nanjing Road, it was actually blocked by dozens of marijuana bags full of goods.

That's not the most important thing!!

On top of that, there are several anti-aircraft machine guns on top of the hemp bag that even Cruise has only seen once or twice!!

Without any pause, let alone any hesitation, when the blocking action team saw this brilliantly dressed British Concession army advancing in a neat line, they did not hesitate and opened fire directly.

Because they know very well that this "civilized army" is not as glamorous and righteous as it seems, they are there to suppress the students, they are on a mission to continue the massacre.

Not just relying on inference, the agents of the Secret Service even received orders from the concession authorities to forward the army's order to expand the massacre in an attempt to deter Shanghai Tang and maintain the absolute status of the concession.

"Da Da Da ......"

A unit of a regular British battalion, a British soldier of several hundred men, did not even know why it stopped in front, and was frantically slaughtered after the anti-aircraft machine guns were leveled.

Only the communications staff officer and commander Crews, who was at the forefront, understood the moment he saw the blocking position, and this time it was over. They knew exactly what they were going to Nanjing Road for, which was to suppress students and Chinese.

However, now that they have no chance, they will be slaughtered by the mysterious Chinese.

"Da Da Da ......"

At the same time as the flattened anti-aircraft machine gun fired, the slaughtered British soldier even saw a cannon more than half a person high being pushed out at the moment of falling, and immediately, the muzzle of the gun flashed with fire, "Boom!"

Then, it was this infantry gun and anti-aircraft machine gun that spoke together, sending the British Concession soldiers who were blocking the streets and could not retreat into the sky.

Most of them didn't even have time to escape into the shops on the side streets, and the few who managed to escape into the shops on either side were soon cleaned room by room.

Cruise would never have dreamed that the colony-ridden empire would be slaughtered madly in this barbaric land of China. An entire infantry battalion, even an infantry battalion lined up in a neat and dense square, numbered several hundred, but they didn't even have a chance to shoot back, and they were sent to God by anti-aircraft machine guns and the infantry guns that kept firing into the crowd.

The unsuspecting British [***] team, in front of the blocking team, was actually powerless to fight back.

They don't understand why there are such army-standard weapons in the concession, and they don't understand why the other side is acting so carefully.

Isn't this a concession? Why did the enemy even set up a blocking position, but he didn't get the information?

In fact, they don't want to think that with the combat quality of the southwestern special forces, it will not even take more than ten minutes to set up a city street blocking position with dozens of sandbags, just a few cars to run, and then unload the anti-aircraft machine guns.

Of course, the British [***] team, which does not have the slightest understanding of street fighting and urban combat, will not understand the training content of the Southwest Special Forces.

To them, it was as if they had fallen from the sky in an instant.

God, it seems that today is resting.

When the operation team confirmed that none of the British infantry could still get up, they finally moved quickly with the help of the car that arrived at the exact time, leaving behind the corpses of the British [***] team all over the ground.

Gradually, bold people poked their heads out from the floors of the streets on both sides, and finally saw this terrible scene, the streets were full of the corpses of the British, and the british[***] men dressed in colorful clothes were lying in a pool of blood in sorrow.

By the time Major General William, a garrison in the British Concession, received the news, it was almost late.

"Order, the whole regiment is immediately ready to go out, and the target is the ...... Nanjing Road"

However, as soon as the order was given, a violent explosion suddenly sounded from inside the barracks.

"Report to General William, the barracks were shelled by an unknown source just now, and there were heavy casualties!!"

…… The following day, it was extremely rare for the media around the world to issue very consistent headlines.

"Because the British and the two countries jointly massacred the students marching in Shanghai, they were frantically opposed by unknown forces in China

(To be continued)
